The Better Chip – Review and Recipe!

A couple of weeks ago The Better Chip company invited me to join their blogger program and come up with a recipe to share with my readers. After reviewing their website, I accepted their offer.

Now, you all know that I promote the healthy eating of whole foods with goodies in moderation. I know many people make their own chips, but to be honest, I do not have the time and when I want a chip I usually want it NOW. So when I decide that I want something crunchy and salty to snack on, I just look for the best options available. This chip is a good choice!

These tortilla chips are made with all natural ingredients; no artificial flavors or dyes. They’re made from a combination of fresh produce (spinach, kale, peppers, beets, jalapenos and chipotles) mixed with whole grain corn masa. That’s it – no hidden ingredients. The chips are all natural, gluten free, vegan and non-GMO.

Really – just look at the ingredients list for the Spinach and Kale Chips:

They sent me a sample of several flavors, and I loved them all; but holy smokin’ taste buds, if you like spicy you have to try their Chipotle flavor!

My only warning is this: these chips are good and there are 2 servings per bag – so make sure you share with someone or watch your portion size so you don’t end up eating the whole bag!

I really wanted to develop a recipe that kids would like, so I decided to make Crusted Chicken Nuggets with Creamy Avocado Dip and Ranch Dressing. I believe it would make a good treat for the weekend.

I chose to mix the Spinach & Kale and Corn flavors but then decided I wanted to add a little kick and threw in some Jalapeno chips as well. However, the next time I make these, I’m going more Jalapeno and less Corn/Spinach because I really wanted more “kick”. If you want to make these for adults and no kids, try using the Chipotle – I just know those would be good!

Crusted Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

1 whole skinless, boneless organic chicken breast, cut into chunks

½ cup oat flour

2 egg whites

½ bag of each flavor Spinach & Kale, Corn, and Jalapeno – crushed into crumbs (I used a baggie and rolling pin)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Put the oat flour and egg whites in bowls for dipping.

Take chicken chunks, 1 or 2 at a time, and roll first in flour, then in egg whites, then into tortilla crumbs (making sure chicken is completely covered) and place on a baking sheet.

Place baking sheet in oven and bake 15-20 min. or until done (all ovens are different so just be sure chicken is cooked through)
